Yet, we make no attempt to stop these wrongdoings, because By viewing others as mere shadows, we become our own worst some of us are slaves to our daily bread and others are slaves enemy. Why then do we fight shadows? to positions, slaves to fear, and slaves to intimidation while the We judge others based on our own model, and see them foolish are slaves to the illusion that they are free! through our own mirrors.

In order to answer this paper's questions, we have used document analysis method, which is one of qualitative methods, to review available documents including books, articles, theses, etc. By examining the political thought of Ayatollah Khamenei, such parameters as paying attention to the society's values, political crises, and special circumstances of the time, which have been influential in his Institutionalization, are considered. It can be said that Institutionalization has a special situation in the political thought and practical conduct of Ayatollah Khamenei. So, after examining his political thought, we will try to present some evidence of Ayatollah Khamenei's Institutionalization based on various functions and with regard to the parameters mentioned above separately. Introduction and establishment of political, legislative, judicial, scientific- cultural, military, and service institutions on a temporary or permanent basis are among the evidence of Institutionalization under the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei. Keywords: Institutionalization, State-building, Islamic Republic of Iran, society's values, political crises, special circumstances of the time.

  • Who Can Be a Wali?
    Guardianship اﻟوﻻﯾﺔ ﻓﻲ اﻹﺳﻼم Guardianship in Islam 1 | Page Guardianship In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful All praise is for Allah. We praise Him and seek assistance in Him and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil in of our own selves. Whomever Allah guides, there is none to misguide and whomever He leads astray, there is none to guide him a right. I openly bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger. 2 | Page Guardianship INTRODUCTION: The woman in Islam is a very unique and delicate part of the Muslim community. Allah distinguished her from the male species giving her a separate realm in which she should be dealt with: “And the male is not like the female” (3:36) It is imperative for men to understand this so that they fall into trying to change the woman into something that she is not. Event the Sharee’ah (legislation) of Islam has adjusted some of the religious tenets and obligations to accommodate the feminine nature of the woman such as; One: Placing the financial burden of the family on the shoulders of the man, as Allah says: “The men are the protectors and maintainers of the women because of the strength which Allah has given one of them over the other and because the men spend from their wealth…” (4:34) Two: Alleviating the physical burden of jihad from the women and directing their attention and energy to more important aspects of the religion that are commensurate with her delicate nature.

  • Migration of Mexicans to Australia
    Migration of Mexicans to Australia MONICA LAURA VAZQUEZ MAGGIO Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences, University of New South Wales September 2013 Acknowledgements I would like to express my profound gratitude to a number of people who provided me with invaluable support throughout this entire PhD journey. I have been privileged to have two marvellous and supportive PhD supervisors. I am immensely grateful to my Social Sciences supervisor, Dr. Alan Morris, who guided me with his constant encouragement, valuable advice and enormous generosity. As a fresh new PhD student, full of excitement on my first days after I arrived in Australia, I remember encountering a recently graduated PhD student who, after I told her that my supervisor was Alan Morris, assured me I was in good hands. At that time, I had no idea of the magnitude of what she meant. Alan has truly gone above and beyond the role of a supervisor to guide me so brilliantly through this doctorate. He gracefully accepted the challenge of leading me in an entirely new discipline, as well as through the very challenging process of writing in a second language. Despite his vast commitments and enormous workload, Alan read my various manuscripts many times. I am also deeply thankful to my Economics supervisor, Dr. Peter Kriesler, for whom without his warm welcome, I would have not come to this country. I am extremely indebted to Peter for having put his trust in me before arriving in Australia and for giving me the opportunity to be part of this University.

The Ideology and Praxis of Shi'ism in the IranianRevolution SHAHROUGH AKHAVI University of South Carolina The Iranianrevolution of 1979 presents a case in which religion has stimu- lated profound social change, ratherthan serving only as a basis for social integration.Although scholars have recently been remindedof the revolution- ary potentialof religious commitments, the view that religion tends to inhibit large-scale social change continues to enjoy currency. It may be that, in the light of events in Iranin the last five years, observersof Islamic societies will now be tempted to overstress the revolutionarytendencies of that great world religion. Yet it is difficult to exaggerate the force and depth of feeling which Shi'i belief and practice has generatedin Iranfor the purposeof the structural transformationof society. There is, however, the risk of reifying the concept of Shi'ism, and thus care must be taken to identify the most importantaspects in both the doctrinal/ ideological and the practical/behavioraldimensions.
